I understand that the great need some time for preparation to return properly but after reading the entire thread with every post, I can't wait to learn more skills and I really look forward for some some nice pics.

However, my business with ADA has concluded. I'll still be around to answer questions and help the community, as I always have. If you wish to talk to me via email, you can reach me at fwazeter@gmail.com - or via phone at 281.617.2539, and of course, via private message here!

Wow. Sad day! Sorry to hear, good luck on your new path. Well I hope we'll still get to see some amazing aquascapes from you.

Best of luck in all your endeavors. Just looked over your linkedin again, you'll bounce back I'm sure of it better than before I'm sure of it.

I'll get to making that thing we talked about sometime this weekend.

Hi! New to the forums and back to the hobby after many many years - in fact, back because my son would like to start. I just read this thread and wanted to thank you for journaling your tank - very inspirational! Although my son's tank is probably going to be more inspired by Spongebob Squarepants than Amano, I'll try my best to keep it somewhat in balance and in health (and beauty) over here!

Hi Frank, I've been trying to contact you about my upcoming order. Just curious if you got my PM, I'd like to get going on it soon. Thanks!

While on my "drystart quest" - I've started to load up on ADA equipment

I currently live in Canada (and we use CGA 320 standard CO2 tanks) - is this CO2 adapter compatible? And how much does ADG sell it as standalone??

Thanks

Yes this adapter is compatible. We will be sending some (as apparently they're a custom item made by the Eheim distributor in Houston) to our Canadian partner, Miyabi Aqua Design shortly. PM me for more info.

Hi Frank, thanks for all the great insight. I am planning a planted tank setup with a sump, and since you recommend raising the lily pipes to the surface for more oxygenation, do you think that running an airstone in the sump would produce the same beneficial effect?

if you want pearling, you need more than healthy plants. to get O2 to accumulate on the leaves, you need a high photosynthesis rate (meaning good light and more important good CO2), and you need to have the water column saturated with O2 (or it just dissolves away). so good aeration, and good flow.
